Beautiful Renovation-Ready Marais Apartment

This large and sunny, 3^rd floor apartment of 154.25 m² is perfectly located in the Southern part of the trendy ‘Haute Marais’ area of Paris’ 3rd arrondissement.

The imposing building (with elevator) lies at the angle of Boulevard Beaumarchais where it joins with the Rue St. Gilles, just 2 blocks from Place des Vosges and bordering the prestigious Archives area of the Marais. The vibrant neighborhood features a large weekly street market, upscale grocery “Maison Plisson”, the ambitious concept store “Merci” and numerous galleries and restaurants. Ile St. Louis and all the most important historical sights in Paris are an easy 15 minute stroll through the charming Marais district.

The apartment affords a perfect opportunity to renovate and add your own personal stamp on the well preserved historic elements, including original marble fireplaces in nearly every room, original moldings and point de Hongrie wood floors. Other bonuses include unobstructed views to the East and South East, with full sun all day.

The main common areas of the building have already been recently updated, with the intercom system, building façade, staircase, and elevator all restored and renovated to modern standards while retaining their authentic charm. An onsite concierge ensures that the building will be well maintained.

The apartment can easily be reconfigured to create an entrance opening to an office / library, three large bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a utility room, a large central kitchen, and magnificent living and dining rooms overlooking the tree-lined boulevard. A double cellar completes the apartment. Monthly expenses are about 400 € and the annual land tax is about € 1,200.

Offered at 1,657,300€, agency fees included.

Vivre comme Figaro…

ParisPropertyGroup vous emmène à la découverte de la pointe sud du 3^ème arrondissement, à la croisée des chemins du 11^ème et du 4^ème arrondissement : l’imposant immeuble du 67 boulevard Beaumarchais fait angle avec la rue Saint-Gilles qui mène vers le quartier privilégié des archives et de la place des Vosges. Il fait face, au Sud-Est, aux abords du 11^èmeavec son grand marché bi-hebdomadaire du boulevard richard Lenoir et ses quartiers animés. Ce lieu de convergence favorise les ambitieux : le concept store « Merci », l’épicerie « Maison Plisson », galeries, etc…

Il faut être ambitieux également pour cet appartement de 154,25 m² au troisième étage, traversant et faisant angle avec le boulevard et la rue Saint Gilles. La vue est dégagée à l’Est et au coin Sud Est. Le soleil continue sur la face Sud de l’appartement et revient le soir éclairer la chambre sur vaste cour, plein Ouest.

L’appartement est resté inchangé pendant quelques décennies ; il conviendra donc de réaliser des travaux de modernisation et de restructuration : tout en gardant la majesté des cheminées en marbre, des moulures et du parquet en point de Hongrie, il est possible de créer trois chambres avec deux salles de douche et une salle de bain principale, une buanderie, une entrée ouvrant droit sur une partie bureau/bibliothèque, une grande cuisine centrale dans l’appartement, et une magnifique réception sur le boulevard avec salle à manger d’angle ! Il faudra compter environ 150 000 € pour une belle réalisation.

L’immeuble quant à lui a déjà fait sa modernisation : interphone, ravalements, grande cage d’escaliers rénovée, ascenseur modernisé (aux normes) tout en conservant l’authentique grande cabine vitrée en bois pour trois personnes. La concierge veille à entretenir l’immeuble et à la vie paisible des propriétaires.

Une double cave complète l’appartement.

Les charges mensuelles sont d’environ 400 € et la taxe foncière annuelle d’environ 1200 €.

Location

Paris: 3rd arrondissement

The northern part of the historic Marais, the third is an eclectic neighborhood with plenty to see and do. The wholesale shopping around Place de la Republique quickly turns more quaint and small-neighborhood as you head south. “Temple” is a trendy corner of Paris at the moment with lots of bars, good-value restaurants and art galleries at every turn. The streets are filled with locals, foreign and international, out to have a good time. The heart of the Marais is between rue de Turenne and rue des Archives, where you will find wonderful museums and galleries in old hôtel particuliers, a number of Paris’ renown hidden parks and gardens, restaurants, cafés, and boutique shopping. Head east to the border of the 3^rd and 11^th arrondissements to find more up-and-coming restaurants and hipster hangouts.

Average price: €12,461/m2; +-3.3% over one year; +26.4% over 10 years

Not long ago, a savvy buyer could expect to find an inexpensive apartment to renovate in the northern 3rd arrondissement. Those days are long gone. Expect heftier prices around République, and down from there as you enter the historic Marais. Look for prices to continue to rise in the northern part of the 3rd, with the renovation of the Marché du Temple and the Place de la République, and the areas around the Marais.

Get to know the 3rd arrondissement

Architectural styles

Paris evolved out of a walled city, and some historians argue that this alone has given Paris a certain logic that London or Boston lacks. Paris has really never lost its walls: 900 years after the 12th-century wall of Philippe August, we now live in a city walled by its ring-road, the Péripherique highway. This succession of walls, gradually torn down and rebuilt through the centuries, has created a spiraling city, which grew gradually out from the Ile de la Cité. It’s not surprising that some of the oldest buildings are near the center of the spiral.

Medieval

(1100-1526)

During the early Middle Ages, the people of Paris poached entire sections of the sturdier Roman walls to use for their own buildings. You can still find roman stones in the cellars of the medieval half-timbered buildings found mostly in the 4th arrondissement but also in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 6^th.

Interiors have low pier and beam ceilings, walls are half-timber or exposed stone, and the layout tends to have small and irregular sized rooms. These Pain de Bois buildings are structured around a staircase with a wooden or stone load-bearing axis at the center and a cellar of vaulted caves, both of which make installing an elevator in these buildings almost impossible.

Religious buildings also survive, beginning with the Romanesque style (round arched windows) and then evolving into Gothic style (pointed arches, cross vaults and flying buttresses).

Immeuble de Rapport

While Louis XIV (1643-1715) was exploring the Baroque style, ordinary Parisians of this era saw the development of the humble immeuble de rapport: rental apartment buildings for the middle class which continued in popularity for several hundred years. Found in the 3^rd, 4^th, 9^th, 10^th, and 11^th arrondissements, the facades are simple cut stone with interior walls made of “Paris stone” (plastered), and a brick fireplace. The floors are oak parquet with parallel slats; the ceilings are medium or low in height. Shorter, less expensive wood beams were used, so rooms were rectangular and small. Most apartments were studios or one bedroom but over the years many have been combined to create larger apartments. The stairwell in this type of building is small but elevators are generally possible.

Post War

Through the Seventies

These years are often seen as a disaster for French architecture. Some terrible mistakes were made, in particular the destruction of Les Halles in central Paris. Building styles from the 1950’s had to meet a large demand for new housing quickly and affordably as almost no new housing in Paris had been created during the previous 20 years. To meet the demand over 2500 buildings were constructed during the decade but Paris did not have a coherent building plan in place so developers were left to their own whims as to the height and size of their buildings with little concern for the surrounding architecture. Developers often prioritised profit over architectural beauty but they provided the Parisian population with well-equipped, low-rent housing. At the same time this was the period of Le Corbusier and his influence can be seen in the luxury buildings of the period which often have large balconies, modern layouts, and lots of light. The majority of buildings from this period have a brick, stone or concrete façade, elevators, low ceilings, carpeting, and small rooms.

Restaurants

Volumes have been written on where to eat in Paris, but this is our very personal take on favorite places to go in each arrondissement. Some are swanky and require reservations, and some are more casual eateries. If you find other favorites, let us know so we can add them to our site in the future.
